My Beloved Peppermint Patties

Why you might ask that these perfectly round treats are my new best friend? WELL, let me have a professional explain...

"Menthol acts to stimulate the stomach lining. Its cooling properties soothe the stomach and ease stomach pain. Peppermint oil is popular in the treatment of motion and sea sickness and nausea. It acts as an anesthetic to the stomach wall and eases vomiting and nausea. An account on the effects of peppermint on nausea appeared in the September 1997 issue of the Journal of Advanced Nursing, in which gynecological patients were given peppermint oil to counter post-operative nausea. The patients reported less nausea and required fewer drugs to treat the nausea. "

Again, you might be asking why I might be needing this home remedy? Well, there is an itty bitty baby in my tummy. Yes, you read correctly, I am pregnant!

In a few more weeks, you'll get the results back from the genetics test and find out if the baby is yours, Matt. We're pulling for you.
